[ Green Room Music Source : roster ]

Trained as a classical violinist, Eliza grew up listening to folk and blues on her Fisher-Price record player, but had little vocal instruction. She took up the fiddle after falling in love with old timey music and soon began writing songs of her own. Guitar came next, and then mandolin and banjo.

Her music regularly draws comparisons to Gillian Welch, for it’s homage to Appalachian roots, but the quality and timbre of her voice call to mind some of the great jazz vocalists. Since she began her songwriting career four years ago, Eliza has crossed the country many times, and averages over a 150 gigs a year.When not on the road she lives in Minneapolis, Minnesota with her two dogs, Lily and Micah.

Eliza has shared the stage recently with: Billy Bragg, The Watson Twins, Kelly Jo Phelps, Fiona McBain of Ollabelle, Anje Duvekot, and Natalia Zukerman. In addition, she fiddles and sings with several Minneapolis based groups.

Eliza’s music has appeared on the Audiophile’s Guide to TC music, sponsored by the Pioneer Press, Twin Town Records’ 10th anniversary compilation, and Rift Magazine’s 2007 compilation album. She has been a featured performer at this spring’s Campfire Festival at Club Passim, the National Music Museum, 2007-2009 Stone Arch Bridge Festival, 2007-2009 Hamline Avenue Folk Festival.
